Notes from author
Switch spells around depending on your tastes. I usually go for 2 SLB+1 WotG for PvE, and 1 SLB+1 WotG+1 GMB for PvP (or 2 WotG stacks if you don't give a crap about GMB).
Replace with DMB if you prefer; I like SLB better because I don't like to be restricted to covenants, and SLB usually works as well as DMB because people tend to have lower lightning defenses than magic.
I usually menu swap Shotel instead; just throwing it out there to demonstrate that there's enough weight to play around with other equipment choices as well. Most notably, you can take out the Shotel and change to the Chain+Giant's+Hollow Soldier Waistcloth combo for >76 poise with Wolf Ring.
